Sophie Saint Thomas embodies what I like most in writersinfinite curiosity, earnestness (without a smidge of naivete), and strong sense of self-awareness. Plus, shes really freaking funny. Reading her work immediately makes you want to be her friend, and for good reason. Because if more people had brains as beautiful as SSTs, the world would be a more interesting and titillating place.
